TM 42
You start the game as normal. Grab a potion from your computer
before you leave. Now head out of the town, and Professor Oak will stop
you, but this time a Pikachu will attack you. Professor Oak will
capture it and you will head to his lab. He will then tell you to take
a Pokemon. Head to the only Poke Ball and try to take it, Gary will
push you to the side and take it from you. Professor Oak will give you
Pikachu. Leave and Gary will challenge you with his Eevee. You should
be able to beat him easily. You will also notice that Pikachu will
follow you around instead of staying in his Poke Ball.
-------Gary----------------
Trainer: Gary
Pokemon: Eevee Lv.5
Prize- $175
This battle is very, very easy. His Eevee is pretty weak and with
Pikachu to begin with you should have very little trouble defeating
him. Just think of this as practice for the bigger battles to come.
---------------------------
*Note- If you talk to your Pikachu you can see it's expression towards
you.
Now head to Route 1 and up to Viridian City, be sure to get a
Potion from the guy on Route 1. Head to the store to pick up Oak's
Parcel and give it to Professor Oak to receive your Pokedex. If you
want go to Gary's House and get a Town Map from his sister. Before
heading to Route 2 check the bush near the exit of Viridian City. You
will find a Potion there. Now head up towards Route 2.

# 17 Pidgeotto
It's optional but if you want head to Route 22 to the left of
Viridian City. There you will find the Pokemon League, along with Gary
and a different set of Pokemon to catch. If not head towards Route 2,
and through Viridian Forest. Nothing too special here so just head on
through.
-------Gary----------------
Trainer: Gary
Pokemon: Spearow Lv.9
Eevee Lv.8
Prize- $280
This battle is very easy. His Spearow, being prone to Electric
attack, will quickly fall to Pikachu in no time. As for his Eevee any
Pokemon you have at the time at about the same level should work quite
well. Not too difficult, and a quick an easy way to gain experience and
money.
---------------------------
%%%Pewter City & Route 3%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Pokemon found in Route 3:
# 19 Rattata
# 21 Spearow
# 27 Sandshrew
# 56 Mankey
# 129 Magikarp (bought)
Treasures found in Pewter City:
TM34
Old Amber
Again the only thing real important is the battle with Brock. Be
sure to stock up on items like Poke Balls and potions before heading
on. Make your way through Route 3, and be sure to get your Pokemon
leveled up. Also beware of the guy selling the Magikarp. It's not worth
the money, and you could always get one for free later on anyways.
-------Brock---------------
Trainer: Brock
Pokemon: Geodude Lv.10
Onix Lv.12
Prize- Boulder Badge
- $1188
- TM34
Geez, this battle is a lot tougher without Squirtle or Bulbasaur.
Since just about any Pokemon you have will have little effect on
Brock's Pokemon, try to build up your Pokemon's levels a few levels
higher than his. A Butterfree at Lv.10 with Confusion, a Mankey at Lv.9
with Low Kick, or one of the Nidos with Double Kick will help you get
through this battle much easier.
---------------------------
%%%Mt. Moon%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Treasures found in Mt. Moon:
Dome Fossil

Helix Fossil
HP Up
Moon Stone

Rare Candy
TM01
TM12
Pokemon found at Mt. Moon:
# 27 Sandshrew
# 35 Clefairy
# 41 Zubat
# 46 Paras
# 74 Geodude
Here you will find more Pokemon to add for your collection. Be
sure to check the rock near TM01 to find a hidden ether. There is a
hidden Moon Stone as well near the fossils. Before heading up the
stairs make a right into a dead corridor and search the ground for a
Moon Stone. Near the end of Mt. Moon you will find two fossils. You can
only take one, and either one will result in a pretty tough Pokemon.
Get the Helix for Omanyte and the Dome for Kabuto. This is also the
first time that you will meet Team Rocket's very own Jessie and James.
-------Jessie & James------
Trainer: Jessie & James
Pokemon: Ekans Lv.14
Meowth Lv.14
Koffing Lv.14
Prize: $420
This battle is pretty tough. Team Rocket can actually put up a
good fight this time. Since no Pokemon you have will have a complete
advantage over Jessie and James Pokemon, just get your levels at about
2 levels higher than theirs, and you should have little trouble taking
them out.
---------------------------
%%%Route 4 & Cerulean City%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Treasures found in Route 4:

Pokemon found in Route 4:

Treasures found in Cerulean City:
Rare Candy (hidden)
TM11
TM28
Pokemon found in Cerulean City:
# 01 Bulbasaur (one)
The next stop is in Cerulean City. Stock up and be sure to get
your Pokemon leveled up, before heading off to fight Misty. If you head
to the guy who tells you about the badges, and search through his
backyard you will find a Rare Candy. Another thing that is different in
the Yellow version is that where the Police Officer use to stand,
Officer Jenny is now there. Also if you head to the house next to the
Poke Mart you will find a Bulbasaur which you can get! To get Bulbasaur
you must make Pikachu happy. Do this by letting him battle first and
NOT letting him faint, trading him putting him in the computer.
-------Misty---------------
Trainer: Misty
Pokemon: Staryu Lv.18
Starmie Lv.21
Prize- Cascade Badge
- $2079
- TM11
From Brock to Misty this battle is 10 times easier than Brock.
Pikachu will demolish Staryu and Starmie in no time. Just be sure that
your Pikachu is at least as high as Lv.18 to make the battle even
easier. You can try other Pokemon if you want, just to gain their
levels.
---------------------------
-------Gary----------------
Trainer: Gary
Pokemon: Spearow Lv.18
Sandshrew Lv.15
Rattata Lv.15
Eevee Lv.17
Prize- $595
Well after fighting Misty this battle is pretty simple as well.
Again any Pokemon you have will work against Gary, especially Pikachu.
Use this battle to gain some easy experience points.
---------------------------
%%%Route 24 & 25 %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Treasures found on Route 24 & 25
Nugget
SS Ticket (from Bill)

Pokemon found in Route 24 & 25:
# 4 Charmander (one)
# 16 Pidgey
# 17 Pidgeotto
# 43 Oddish
# 48 Venonat
# 69 Bellsprout
Before you can enter Route 24 & 25 to see Bill you must cross the
Nugget Bridge. 5 trainers guard the Nugget Bridge and you must fight
each on to get through. They are pretty easy, and will quickly help you
to gain levels. Defeating all 5 will also get you a Nugget. Another
Yellow exclusive is that you can also get Charmander. Head straight up
from the Nugget Bridge to find a trainer. He says that he cannot raise
his Pokemon and gives it to you if you promise to take good care of it.
Say yes, and you got yourself a Charmander.
Route 24 & 25 has a ton of trainers running around which will net
you quite a bit of experience. Head to Bill's house to get the SS
Ticket. As soon as you get the ticket head back to Cerulean and go to
where Officer Jenny was. The house can now be accessed, when you exit
the house on the other side you will find a Rocket. Beat him to receive
TM28.
%%%Route 5, 6 & Vermilion City%%%%%%%%%%
Treasures found on Route 5:
Full Restore (hidden)
Pokemon found in Route 5 & 6:
# 16 Pidgey
# 17 Pidgeotto
# 19 Rattata
# 39 Jigglypuff
# 63 Abra
# 67 Machoke (Route 5, trade)
Pokemon found in Vermilion City:

Bike Voucher
Old Rod
TM24
Treasures found in SS Anne:
Ether
Great Ball (hidden)
HM01
Max Ether
Max Potion
Rare Candy
TM08
TM44
Just like the other versions you cannot go to Saffron just yet so
you must use the Underground Passage to get by. You will also meet a
girl who wants to trade a Cubone for a Machoke. If you do trade you
will get a Machoke that will then evolve into a Machamp. When you step
off the stairs going down take one step left and press A. You will find
a hidden Full Restore.
Now make your way to Vermilion City. Points of interest here are
an Old Rod from the fishing guru. Grab the Bike Voucher from the
President of the Pokemon Fan Club and head back to Cerulean to get your
bike. Another great surprise awaits you here. Officer Jenny is in this
town and will give you a Squirtle as soon as you beat Lt. Surge.
But since his gym is inaccessible right now head to the SS Anne
and fight all the trainers there, and get HM01 from the Captain. If you
look in the kitchen and in one of the garbage cans you will find a
Great Ball. With everything done in the SS Anne teach any Pokemon, that
can learn it, Cut and head off to face Lt. Surge. You will find that
Lt. Surge has some security in his gym. Search the garbage cans to find
the switch. When you find one the other is right next to it, it is also
appears randomly so just keep trying.
-------Gary----------------
Trainer: Gary
Pokemon: Spearow Lv.19
Rattata Lv.16
Sandshrew Lv.18
Eevee Lv.20
Prize- $1300
Well if you've been building your Pokemon evenly any one will be
pretty good against Gary. Of course with Pikachu, Bulbasaur, and
Charmander on your team, Gary should be a piece of cake.
---------------------------
-------Lt. Surge-----------
Trainer: Lt. Surge
Pokemon: Raichu Lv.28
Prize- Thunder Badge
- $2772
- TM24
A Lv.28 Raichu and it's a monster! Do not use any Flying or Water
type Pokemon that you may have, they will all die almost, if not
instantly. A ground type has some advantage over Raichu, but because of
Raichu's power it may not matter. I suggest you build your Pokemon to
at least Lv.30 or you may have a difficult time defeating Surge.
Diglett's or a Geodude/Graveler/Golem would be most effective against
Raichu. Use Diglett's Dig or any of Geodude's moves and you will have
an easier time against Surge.
---------------------------
%%%Route 11 & Diglett's Cave%%%%%%%%%%%%
Treasures found in Route 11:
Escape Rope (hidden)
Pokemon found on Route 11:
# 16 Pidgey
# 17 Pidgeotto
# 19 Rattata
# 20 Raticate
# 96 Drowzee
Pokemon found in Diglett's Cave:
# 50 Diglett
# 51 Dugtrio
On Route 11 you will find your way blocked by a sleeping Snorlax.
You cannot do anything at the moment to wake it up so just head to
Diglett's Cave. In the meantime if you've caught at least 30 kinds of
Pokemon head to the building at the end of Route 11. There one of
Professor Oak's aide will give you the itemfinder.
Before heading to Diglett's cave be sure to have a Pokemon with
the CUT skill. You will need it to get through the area. Also if you
have an extra Clefairy a boy will trade it for a Mr. Mime. Also in
another building one of Professor Oak's aide will give you HM05 which
will help in the Rock Tunnel. While you're at it head back to Viridian
and use CUT to get TM 42. Then head back to Pewter and grab the Old
Amber from behind the museum.
Now head back to Cerulean City and CUT the bush that blocked the
path to Route 9.
%%%Route 9, 10 & Rock Tunnel%%%%%%%%%%%%
Treasures found on Route 9:

Pokemon found on Route 9:
# 19 Rattata

# 66 Machop
# 81 Magnemite
Pokemon found on Rock Tunnel:
# 41 Zubat
# 66 Machop
# 74 Geodude
# 95 Onix
Another basic route for you to quickly gain levels. If you've been
building up your Pokemon correctly you should have no problem with
anyone on this route. Be sure to have the Flash technique before
entering Rock Tunnel. It will makes things much easier to see.
%%%Lavender Town, Route 8, 7%%%%%%%%%%%%
Pokemon found in Route 8:
# 16 Pidgey
# 17 Pidgeotto
# 19 Rattata
# 39 Jigglypuff
# 63 Abra
# 64 Kadabra
As you enter Lavender Town, you will notice a creepy atmosphere.
Although it may be tempting to catch a ghost at the Pokemon Tower, you
will be unable to without the use of the Silph Scope. And since there
isn't anything else to do at the moment, head towards Route 8. Route 8
is another one of your basic routes so just head to the building in the
upper corner. This will allow you to reach Route 7 as well as Celadon
City.
%%%Celadon City & The Game Corner%%%%%%%
Treasures found in Celadon City:
Coin Case
TM 13
TM 18
TM 48
TM 49
Pokemon found in Celadon City:
# 37 Vulpix- 1000 Coins
# 40 Wigglytuff- 2680 Coins
# 63 Abra- 230 Coins
# 123 Scyther- 6500 Coins
# 127 Pinsir- 6500 Coins
# 133 Eevee
# 137 Porygon- 9999 Coins
Celadon City is home to the biggest stores in all of Pokemon. Here
you will also find the rare, but versatile Eevee who can evolve into 3
different types of Pokemon. Head behind the Pokemon Center and go
through the back way of the Celadon Mansion. Reach the top floor and
Eevee will be yours. If you want more water give it the Water Stone and
evolve it into Vaporeon, a Thunder Stone will evolve it into Jolteon,
and the fire stone will evolve it into Flareon. Take your pick, they
are all great Pokemon to have on your team.
Now head to the Celadon Dept. store. Talk to all the people behind
the counter, (even if you're not buying anything), a man will give you
TM 18 for free. Be sure to buy a Poke Doll, you'll need this later.
Finally head to the very top floor. A girl there will say she is
thristy. Go to the vending machine and buy 2 Fresh Water, 1 Soda Pop,
and 1 Lemondae. Give here 1 of each and she will give you some TMs for
your trouble. Finally head to the left of Celadon. You will find a
Snorlax blocking your way. You can't do anything yet so jut Cut the
bush and enter the house on the other side. There you will find HM 02
(Fly) which will save you a lot of trouble walking from one city to
another.
Here you will also find the Grass gym leader Erika. See the
strategy below, if you need help in defeating her. Now head to one of
the houses in the lower part of town. There you will find someone that
will give you the coin case. With the coin case in hand head to the
Game Corner, which should be the house right above where you got the
Coin Case. Head to the Game Corner. You will find a Team Rocket member
acting suspicious. Talk to him, and beat him in battle. When he
disappears press the switch that he was guarding and you will enter
Team Rocket's secret base. You need to find a lift key in order to
reach the boss of Team Rocket. It is on the fourth basement. Go down
and defeat the boss to receive the Silph Scope. With this you can know
identify ghost and capture them.
-------Erika---------------
Trainer: Erika
Pokemon: Tangela Lv.30
Weepinbell Lv.32
Gloom Lv.32
Prize- Rainbow Badge
- $3168
- TM21
This is another pretty easy battle. A fire type like the
Charmander you received, or if you've leveled him to a Charmeleon or a
Growlithe or Vulpix will make this battle a snap. Her Pokemon are all
pretty easy to defeat, and you probably don't even need help on her. If
you have no strong fire type, a psychic Pokemon like Mr. Mime or
Alakazam will make short work of her.
---------------------------
%%%Pokemon Tower%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Treasures found in Pokemon Tower:

Elixer
Escape Rope
HP UP
Nugget
Rare Candy

Pokemon found in Pokemon Tower:
# 92 Gastly
# 93 Haunter
# 104 Cubone
Pokemon Tower is pretty simple or hard depending on what Pokemon
you bring. Before entering make sure you have the Silph Scope with you.
Before you can search Pokemon Tower Gary will challenge you. He's still
pretty easy, check the boss strategy at the bottom if you need help. If
you have any Psychics with you they will wipe out the ghosts in no
time. Just remember that physical attacks (mainly Normal and Fighting)
are totally useless against them so come prepared. As you make your way
up the tower you will find a heal point at the half point, a perfect
opportunity to gain levels. As soon as you reach the final floor you
will face Jessie and James once more. They're just as bad as their
anime counterparts and you should be able to take them down in no time.
Once you beat them talk to Mr. Fuji and get the Poke Flute from him.
Now head to Saffron City.
-------Gary----------------
Trainer: Gary
Pokemon: Fearow Lv.25
Shellder Lv.23
Vulpix Lv.22
Sandshrew Lv.20
Eevee Lv.25
This battle is way too simple. Gary's Fearow and Shellder are both
weak to Thunder (Pikachu), Vulpix and Sandshrew both weak to water
(Squirtle), and his Eevee can be taken down with just about anything
else. However this is only a sample of things to come.

Pokemon found in Saffron City:
# 106 Hitmonlee
# 107 Hitmonchan
Pokemon found in Silph Co.
# 131 Lapras
You will spend quite some time in Saffron. So if you feel that you
may not be strong enough (I recommend being around Level 40 or higher),
head back to Pokemon Tower or any Route and level up. Now you will
probably notice that Team Rocket blocks the entrance too most if not
all of Saffron City, including the Gym. For now head to one of the
bottom houses and get TM 29 from one of the citizens. Next head too the
gym that is not being blocked off. Inside will be a gym full of
fighting Pokemon. Not too difficult and beating the leader gives you a
free Pokemon (much better than a badge if you ask me ^_^). Choose
between either Hitmonlee or Hitmonchan, they're both good choices and
you can't really go wrong with either.
Now head to the center of town into the Silph Co., it's the
biggest building there so you can't miss it. The Silph Co. is
practically a maze so if you want to get this over with (I recommend
beating everyone in the building for money and exp.), just follow these
steps. Take the elevator to the fifth floor. Now head all the way to
the left and then head down. Enter the teleporter tile, and then head
back onto the teleporter tile. Head down, beat the rocket and then head
right and grab the Card Key. Now head back to the elevator and go to
the 3rd floor. Head down and open the locked door and enter the tile
teleporter. You will meet Gary once more and his Pokemon and all
evolved this time, however you should still have little trouble against
him. Defeat him and you will receive a Lapras from one of the
employees, just keep heading forward from there and you will reach
Giovanni in no time. Defeat him to receive the Master Ball. With Team
Rocket gone head to the gym and prepare to fight Sabrina. She is a
monster in this game so be sure that all your Pokemon are strong enough
to take her on
-------Gary----------------
Trainer: Gary
Pokemon: Sandslash Lv.38
Ninetales Lv.35
Cloyster Lv.37
Kadabra Lv.35
Vaporean, Jolteon, or Flareon Lv.40
Now this battle will be a bit tougher than the last one. The same
water Pokemon you used last time and Pikachu can easily take out
Sandslash, Nintales, Cloyster, Vaporean, and Flareon. However Gary's
Kadabra and Jolteon are a different story. For Kadabra just pound on
him with any attack (except Psychic) and hope you take him down
quickly. Jolteon can be pretty tough, but using a Ground type Pokemon
(Diglett, Dugtrio) can easily defeat Jolteon.
---------------------------
-------Sabrina-------------
Trainer: Sabrina
Pokemon: Abra Lv.50
Kadabra Lv.50
Alakazam Lv.50
Prize- Marsh Badge
- $4950
- TM 46
This will probably be your hardest battle yet. All of Sabrina's
Pokemon are at Level 50, one of the strongest type in the game,
Psychic, and overall can be just plain difficult. I highly suggest that
you raise your Pokemon's level to at least 50 or around 50 to have a
good chance. Sabrina's first two Abra and Kadabra are actually not too
difficult I just took my strongest Pokemon and attacked. A few turns
later they were both down. However Alakazam is a different story, if
you can try putting him to sleep, that's what I did and had very little
trouble. Just beware of Alakazam's recover or you may very well lose
this match.

Well from here you need to travel to Fuchsia City. There are two
ways too reach the town and you can take any route you wish to go to
first. I will be explaining Route 16-18 then Route 12 & 13
Route 16-18 is the bicycle route (in that you need a bicycle to
travel this path. You will also notice a Snorlax blocking your path.
Play the Poke Flute to wake him up and begin the battle. Snorlax is a
little tough to beat, considering that he can refill his energy.
However he is also very difficult to catch. I had considerable trouble
trying to catch him with a Great Ball, but had little problems with an
Ultra Ball. Don't worry if you don't catch him, you still have one more
chance. Considering that you go straight down and the game practically
pushes you down, this is probably the fastest way there. There isn't
much else to discuss about this route so I'll go on about the other
two.
Route 12-15 is the long way to Fuschia, but should still be
visited. Another Snorlax blocks the path and if you didn't get it the
first time this is your last chance. You will also find the Super Rod
here, the best fishing rod in the game, and is probably the best reason
to visit this route. Also on Route 12 & 13 you will find a Farfetch'd.
One that doesn't have to be named "Dux".

The Safari Zone is what makes Fuchsia City stand out. You will
probably have to make a few trips in order to get all the treasures and
catch all the Pokemon they have there. The most important thing you
need is the Gold Teeth and HM 03. HM 03 is the valuable Surf skill. One
of the more useful HMs considering that you will need Surf from here
on, and it's a pretty powerful skill as well. HM 03 is located at the
very end of the Safari Zone, you will need to get there before your
time runs out. The Gold Teeth is along the way as well. Now head to the
warden's house. Give him the teeth and you will get HM 04, which will
teach your Pokemon the Strength ability. Next door to the Warden is a
guy who will give you the Good Rod. But if you took Route 12, you
probably wouldn't want it.
Now head for the gym and battle the leader Koga. There are
invisible walls all over the place, so you may have to stumble your way
through in order to find your way. Defeat Koga and you will receive the
Soul Badge along with TM 06. With this badge the defense of your
Pokemon will increase. When you are done head west to Route 18. A boy
there will trade you a Slowbro for Lickitung.

Trainer: Koga
Pokemon: Venonat Lv.44

This battle is a whole lot easier than the battle with Sabrina. In
fact the only thing difficult about this, would probably be the maze
getting to him. Any Pokemon would do pretty well against Koga. Just be
sure to have Pokemon around his levels just to be safe.

%%%Seafoam, & Route 19-21%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

# 99 Kingler
# 120 Staryu
# 144 Articuno
To reach Seafoam Island you will have to pass through Route 19,
and have a Pokemon with the surf ability. Also be sure to bring a
Pokemon with the Strength ability. Seafoam Island is like a mini maze.
In order to get through this place you must push the boulders into the
holes. If you do not the water will pull you back to another part of
the cavern. While down here you will also discover Articuno. It can
only be found here, so again be sure to save before taking him on. He
can be quite difficult to catch so try putting him to sleep to increase
your chances of catching him.

TM 14
TM 22
Cinnibar Island is where research on extinct Pokemon takes place.
Here the scientists will bring back to life Aerodactyl and either
Omanyte or Kabuto. Just give them the Old Amber and Helix/Dome Fossil
to get these Pokemon. The gym here will be locked, and you need to find
a key to unlock it so head to the abandoned Pokemon Mansion. As you
search the area, you will also learn things about Mewtwo and Mew, two
of the strongest and rarest Pokemon in the game. Once you have found
the key, head over to the gym. Also there is a hidden Moon Stone on the
first floor. Look behind the third block in the right for it.
The gym will also be blocked each step of the way. You can either
defeat the trainers or go up to the machine and test your knowledge of
Pokemon. When you reach the end you will meet Blaine. Defeat him to
receive the Volcano Badge and TM 38. With this badge your Pokemon's
special attack will increase. Now head north of Cinnibar to Route 21.
-------Blaine--------------
Trainer: Blaine
Pokemon: Ninetales Lv.48
Rapidash Lv.50
Arcanine Lv.54
Prize- Volcano Badge
- $5346
- TM38
This battle is pretty simple. Heck any water Pokemon you have will
quickly put out Blaine's flame. You could also throw in some Rock types
on your team, considering that Fire is practically ineffective against
Rock types. However with the trip to Seafoam Islands you should have
enough water Pokemon to easily defeat him.
---------------------------
%%%Power Plant%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Treasures found in the Power Plant:
Carbos
HP Up
Rare Candy
TM 25
TM 33
Pokemon found in the Power Plant:
# 81 Magnemite
# 82 Magneton
# 88 Grimer
# 89 Muk
# 100 Voltorb
# 145 Zapdos
The Power Plant is relatively simple. The real reason on coming
here would probably be for Zapdos. However you will also be able to
receive a Voltorb. Also remember to SAVE before fighting Zapdos. You
want to make sure that you catch him, because you only have one chance
and if you blow it, well you'll be missing out on a powerful Pokemon.
%%%Route 21 & Viridian City%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Pokemon found in Route 21:
# 16 Pidgey
# 17 Pidgeotto
# 19 Rattata
# 20 Raticate
# 72 Tentacool
As you travel along Route 21 you will end up back in Pallet Town.
It seems that your journey has come full circle, but you are still
missing a badge. You must head back to Viridian City. You will find
various trainers here, all dying to join some team. As you make your
way through you will discover that Team Rocket's very own leader is the
gym leader. This isn't the toughest battle you will ever face, but be
sure to build up your best Pokemon. When you defeat him, you will
receive the Earth Badge. With this badge any Pokemon will obey you. Now
with all eight badges, prepare yourself for the Pokemon league.
-------Giovanni------------
Trainer: Giovanni
Pokemon: Dugtrio Lv.50
Persian Lv.53
Nidoqueen Lv.53
Nidoking Lv.55
Rhydon Lv.55
Prize- Earth Badge
- $5445
- TM27
For the last gym leader, Giovanni isn't as hard as you think he
would be. If you have a Psychic, like everyone else seems to have, you
should have very little trouble. However if you don't have any, or
didn't raise them high enough, just use the same Pokemon you did for
Blaine. Giovanni's Ground type Pokemon are very weak to water, so just
use something like Surf over and over.
---------------------------
%%%Route 22, 23 and Victory Road%%%%%%%%%%
Pokemon found in Route 22:
# 19 Rattata
# 21 Spearow
# 29 Nidoran (F)
# 32 Nidoran (M)
# 52 Mankey
Pokemon found in Victory Road:
# 41 Zubat
# 42 Golbat
# 67 Machoke
# 74 Geodude
# 75 Graveler
# 95 Onix
# 146 Moltres
Treasures found along Victory Road:
Full Heal
Guard Spec.
Max Revive
Rare Candy
TM 05
TM 17
TM 43
TM 47
Route 22 is the entrance to the Pokemon League. Before you enter
be sure to bring a Pokemon with Strength, Surf, and Fly. As you head to
the League Gary will appear and challenge you once more. Defeat him to
proceed on your journey. As you enter Route 23 a guard appears at each
checkpoint. As long as you have all the badges, he should not bother
you much. As you reach the end of Route 23, you will enter Victory
Road. Victory Road is filled with some of the greatest trainers in the
world (or so they think). You will need a Pokemon with Strength to get
your way through this maze. Also in Victory Road is another legendary
bird, Moltres. He's not as great as the other birds, but you should
catch him anyways. You should use just about the same tactics you used
against the other birds. When you finally exit Victory Road head up to
the Indigo Plateau and prepare for your greatest challenge yet.
-------Gary----------------
Trainer: Gary
Pokemon: Sandslash Lv.47
Exeggcute Lv.45
Ninetales Lv.45
Cloyster Lv.47
Alakazam Lv.50
Vaporeon, Flareon, Jolteon Lv.53
Again your rival comes quite prepared. If you do not have a
diverse team you will have some trouble against him. Sandslash, Flareon
and Ninetales are easily taken down with a Water Pokemon. Cloyster and
Vaporean with Electric Pokemon. Ground for Jolteon, Fire for Exeggcute.
The Alakazam may be the toughest one in this. If you have a Jolteon
with Pin Missile this guy is pretty easy. But if not I suggest an all
out attack.
---------------------------
%%%Indigo Plateau%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Entering the building above the Indigo Plateau. This will be the
last shop before you take on the Elite Four. Buy a few heals and
revives, you are really going to need them. Once you begin the
challenge against the Elite Four, you will not be able to go back out.
You need to assemble a well-balanced team in order to beat the Elite
Four. You will need to counter mainly Ice, Fighting, Ghost, and Dragon
type Pokemon. Once you have assembled this team head off to face the
first of the Elite Four Lorelei. I suggest Pokemon like Jolteon,
Zapdos, Articuno, Alakazam, Dugtrio, Blastoise, or Gyarados.
---Elite Four---
-------Lorelei-------------
Trainer: Lorelei
Pokemon: Dewgong Lv.54
Cloyster Lv.53
Slowbro Lv.54
Jynx Lv.56
Lapras Lv.56
Prize- $5544
The first member of the Elite Four, Lorelei deals with Ice and
Water type Pokemon. So you should have a powerful Electric or Fire
Pokemon that can easily defeat them. I suggest having a Jolteon for
this battle that is, if you evolved your Eevee into it. If not just use
Zapdos.
---------------------------
-------Bruno---------------
Trainer: Bruno
Pokemon: Onix Lv.53
Hitmonchan Lv.55
Hitmonlee Lv.55
Onix Lv.56
Machamp Lv.58
Prize- $5742
I'm not sure how Bruno got into the Elite Four. He seems to be the
easiest member to beat. The two Onix can easily be taken out with a
Water type like Cloyster or a Grass type like Venusaur. His fighting
types are even easier to take out. If you still have Zapdos from the
first battle I would suggest his Drill Peck to totally annihilate
Bruno.
---------------------------
-------Agatha--------------
Trainer: Agatha
Pokemon: Gengar Lv.56
Golbat Lv.56
Haunter Lv.55
Arbok Lv.58
Gengar Lv.60
Prize- $5940
Agatha can be pretty difficult to beat. Her ghosts are immune to
physical attacks (which is why I lost the first time around), but with
a Pokemon like Alakazam or Zapdos by your side, Agatha will go down
pretty easily. Add to the fact that she doesn't fight very well, and
you should have an easier time than I did the first time around.
---------------------------
-------Lance---------------
Trainer: Lance
Pokemon: Gyarados Lv.58
Dragonair Lv.56
Dragonair Lv.56
Aerodactyl Lv.60
Dragonite Lv.62
Prize- $6138
Lance, the Dragon trainer, supposedly have the strongest type of
Pokemon in the game. However they aren't exactly the greatest Pokemon
in the game. The dragons seem to be very weak to Ice attacks, so if you
have a powerful Ice Pokemon on your team with a move like Ice Beam or
Blizzard this battle should give you no trouble. Aerodactyl and
Gyarados can be beaten with very little effort.
---------------------------
If you finally manage to beat all four you will have one more
challenge ahead of you, before you become the greatest Pokemon trainer
in the world. Gary will be your final challenge. His team will vary
depending on what Pokemon he has chosen for himself.
-------Gary----------------
Trainer: Gary
Pokemon: Set 1 Set 2 Set 3
Sandslash Lv.61 Sandslash Lv.61 Sandslash Lv.61
Alakazam Lv.59 Alakazam Lv.59 Alakazam Lv.59
Exeggutor Lv.61 Exeggutor Lv.61 Exeggutor Lv.61
Cloyster Lv.61 Magneton Lv.61 Ninetales Lv.61
Ninetales Lv.63 Cloyster Lv.63 Magneton Lv.63
Jolteon Lv.65 Flareon Lv.65 Vaporeon Lv.65
Prize- $6435
Gary is probably the hardest trainer you've faced in the entire
game. And with good reason, his team is pretty damned balance, and you
will need a balanced team yourself to defeat him. The team I suggest
above is a pretty good balance, and should let you defeat Gary with
very little problems. Also you may have noticed Gary's different
lineup. Well it all depends on your action at the beginning of the
game. (Check out the Yellow section for the full details.) Anyways you
should know which form his Eevee is, giving you a slight advantage over
him since you know what his Pokemon will be.
---------------------------
Now that you've defeated Gary, pat yourself on the back. You have just
become a Pokemon champion. And now one more journey stands between you
and becoming a true champion, the Unknown Dungeon.
%%%Unknown Dungeon%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Pokemon found in the Unknown Dungeon:
# 28 Sandslash
# 42 Golbat
# 44 Gloom
# 47 Parasect
# 49 Venomoth
# 70 Weepinbell
# 75 Graveler
# 108 Lickitung
# 111 Rhyhorn
# 112 Rhydon
# 113 Chansey
# 132 Ditto
# 150 Mewtwo
Treasures found in the Unknown Dungeon:
Full Restore
Max Ether x2
Max Revive x3
Rare Candy x2
Ultra Ball x4
Once the credits finish, you will end up back in Pallet Town.
About the only thing that has changed is that on the computer you can
now see what team you used to beat the Elite Four and Gary. Something
else has also happened though. Head back to Cerulean City. Then head to
Route 24. Use Surf near the water and follow the water until you find a
cave. Enter the cave.
*Note that if you did not beat the Elite Four and Gary you will not be
able to enter the cave.
In this cave live some of the strongest Pokemon you have ever
seen. But if you managed to make it to the very bottom of the cave you
will meet Mewtwo. He is the strongest Pokemon that has ever lived. If
you still have the Master Ball use it on him. If you do not you are
going to have a tough time defeating him. To catch him just use the
same strategies you used against the birds and you should catch him in
no time.
Congrats, you've just conquered the game. Now all you have to do
is either fill your Pokedex or wait for the sequel. |
